Police said that when they arrived at the scene of the crime, the landlord refused to cooperate with police and barricaded himself inside his property with firearms that were registered to him. Police blocked off the residential area and negotiators were in talks with the man throughout the night in attempts to "peacefully resolve the incident."

Negotiations came to an abrupt end at approximately 10:30 P.M. when the landlord fired at the Hamilton Police armored vehicle and later fired additional rounds at police. 

Authorities said that following the landlords confrontation with authorities they "invoked their mandate" and "there is no longer a threat to public safety." They did not clarify if the suspect was deceased or taken into custody.
